Barbara, Barbara, Barbara

This week's "Employee of the Month" is Barbara.

She came to work at Gallery Graphics back in late 1999 & just never left. She is the overseer of the wacky framing bunch & the guys in the "Saw Shop"(which you will meet 1 by 1). Barbara enjoys getting right in the trenches with her team to bust out 100s of frames a day. Quality is something she prides herself on & there is never a time she doesn't want to hear about how to improve it.

Per Barbara ~ I would like to say that MY CREW is great - The teamwork is E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T!! It makes the day more enjoyable.

Reasons for working here? Loves the location, snuggled into the Ozarks and great hours, what's not to love!!

Have a SAFE & happy Fourth of July!!

May brings us... Thomas

HHHEEERRREEE'SSS THOMAS!!!
(Thomas at a company picnic in 2000)
Thomas came to us as a young man many, many moons ago. 1987 to be exact. His relationship with Mr. Bright started long before Gallery Graphics was even a twinkle of a thought. So to make the inevitable migration to our side was in his cards. Early on he proved to enjoyed being the "Go to Guy" & he kept that pseudo-name for over 20 years. The Sales Department recently welcomed him to the front & he has once again shown his versatility & skills.
His Favorite Image: 3352-6020 Reverence II by Judith Durr & 3352-4741 Cowboy Puppy by Robert Dawson
Favorite Item: Flue Covers
The Highlight of his day: He loves to hear the laughter of his coworkers.

2009 State Champions

We are so happy to announce that McDonald County High School Cheerleaders have done it again!!
Varsity has won their 3rd consecutive state title & the Junior squad has taken fourth. They are now off to Florida (February 12th-16th, 2010) for the National High School Cheerleading Championship (NHSCC).

"The National High School Cheerleading Championship (NHSCC) is the most prestigious cheerleading championship in the country. The NHSCC is held at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando, Florida, and nationally televised on ESPN and ESPN2 to over 100 million homes and 32 countries nationwide each year."

So make sure you support our team. We are very proud of all the hard work they have put into getting here & keep it up!!

GO RED!! GO BLACK!!

Quote from the Universal Cheerleaders Association's website.

Young love will conquer all!!

Noretta is proud to introduce her new Son-In-Law, David. The quaint ceremony was held in Bella Vista, Arkansas on October 13th, 2009. Family members from both the bride & groom were able to bless this union. The leaves have recently turned from lush green to the firey autumn colors, which made for a breath taking backdrop. The Bella Vista lake seemed to have been personally ordered for the young couple's dream wedding. Fears over rain seemed to be heard, as the clouds parted for the ceremony & returned as the wedding party jumped into their cars to leave for the post activities.

Cassie is caught giving her mom an "all too telling" glance before the ceremony began.

The newlyweds met each other at their high school & instantly knew this was true love.

So hand in hand they leave as "Man & Wife" to start their new life together.

Best wishes Cassie & David on your future together!!

A Spot of Joe

Well a few months back I came across a blog that I instantly fell in love with. Loved enough that I actually signed up on my personal blogger. (Yes, I have that much to say that I can have a personal blog, twitter, Myspace & Facebook, actually quite :( sad)

A Latte in the Morning

The Oregon based blogger is not only a wonderful speaker, but she also has an adorable brood of red headed angels and an equally entertaining husband. Her blog features daily adventures, Wordless Wednesday (cheek squishing adorable pics of her children), updates on month long reviews (she is doing a Sensa review right now) & of course the all important FREE giveaways (I get goosebumps just thinking of freebies). Yes, there are several of these bloggers out there, but ALITM had the right amount of information, random opinions, cuteness & a splash of caffeine (OK I promise no more bad coffee references). The items that have been listed range from jewelry to a Fortamajig (a cool fort making apparatus that might be in Santa's bag this year). So if you need another guilt-free pleasure, check out ALITM & let us know if you get any cool freebies...

BABIES BABIES everywhere!!

We are happy to announce that we had several babies born this week. No not people in the office... but just as cute!!

First, May 8th around 3 am Stephanie's wait was over. She woke up to a NEW BABY HONIE. Here is Scott and the Baby Honie. She is about 18 hours old and needing a lil help. She had many visitors including a lil one. She weighed in at about 35 lbs. Dark brown and white with the cutest lil hooves. Yes I almost said "Feet"!!

(This is Scott, the great Horse Whisperer)

If you follow our twitter, you know they haven't named her yet. Send your names to info@gallerygraphics.com



This is Baby D & the baby honie. You may be asking yourself "Are they standing in a GIANT NEST!?" Yes they are standing in a GIANT nest. Long story that we will save for another time.

**UPDATE: I took so long posting this story that they have named the pony. I am happy to introduce Isabella or Izzy for short. Thank you for all of your suggestions well wishings. I hopefully will be able to post some video of her shortly.

Also, the baby Killdeer hatched!! Only 1 did but he was so cute I had to get a pic of him.

Sadly, he was the only one. But he was a fast lil guy. This picture was taken about an hour after he was born. Can't wait till next year to see the next brood!!

Flues covers are BACK!!

AHHH Springtime in the Ozarks

Well the clouds have turned from grey to cotton white, the wind is not as icy & things are starting to boom, blossom & sprout everywhere. Perfect time to take breaks outside & enjoy nature. Of course "tipping thru the tulips" is not as easy as a task on a 15 minute break. But us girls will use any excuse to grasp at any extra rays of sunshine. The silence of our mental break was interrupted by a familiar cry. If you have never heard the cry or seen the dance here you go...



Once we heard that we froze & started looking where we were stepping. Time was ticking away, we started to get nervous. We weren't going to get to see them. TICK, TICK, TICK... then it happened...

3 beautiful eggs, perfectly nestled amongst the rocks and green blades of grass. With seconds left in our break we quickly grabbed a heavy metal stand and placed near the nest, hoping this will deter the mowers and random cars from crushing the small innocent birds.

Imaging we felt much like Lewis & Clark, great adventurers, discovering once in a lifetime treasures and scientifically inclined we stumbled upon another small treasure that we are needing help identifying.

The inhabitant will never tell it's secret but we would like to know who's name we should be mourning. We are torn between 2 species. Robin's egg or a Starling's egg? Please chime in... BTY Happy Earth Day everyone!! Go do something good for Mother Nature.

For more information about Gallery Graphics, Inc. visit us at www.gallerygraphics.com call us at 1-800-367-4370 or come and visit us... We can all go take a break in the beautiful sunshine!!

Who called Snow day? 2009

So what does Gallery Graphics do when we get close to an inch & 1/2 of ice plus snow? That's right we go sledding!! Grabbing our cardboard tops we hit the slopes with the enthusiasm of teenagers. Unfortunately, our bodies were not in the same age bracket. No there was no broken bones, but there was a lot of huffing & puffing. After many races were raced, skin started to turn blue(don't forget the soaking clothes) we decided to make the long trek back home with much less enthusiasm as before.

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~Chili Davis

High Voltage Tattoo

Thanks to Trisha of New York, for this special find!! She spotted Pinkie and Blue Boy amongst the family photos, empty photo frames and candelabras. The frame in the middle also looks suspiciously familiar. It seems as if Victorian and vintage deco never went out of style.

"This photo is from www.highvoltagetattoo.com You may know this name from the hit T.V. show LA Ink which airs on TLC. The Mistress of this parlor is Kat Von D. Tattoos are their main staple but maybe a little style of her will rub off onto the rest of us."

I enjoy the "Where's Gallery?" game this has sparked with some of our customers. Keep sending them in & I will keep posting them.

Mistress of Gossip

Fall in the Town of Noel, MO

Well the leaves are changing, there is a crispness in the air & everyone is a little cheerier. No it is not because the gas prices are going down (ok it is not JUST because gas prices are going down. This is the time of year when everyone is a little more patient, laid back and we seem to appreciate we made it another year. (ABOVE: Picture of an autumn morning).

Pulling into Noel, MO from the north side of town you are welcomed by the Noel sign. The one lane bridge seems to transitions you into the small town feel.

This picture shows the entire Main Street. It is a rolling hill. But Noel does have everything one would need. A grocery store, post office, hardware and feed store, movie rental, gas stations (4 to be exact) and a bakery (you must have your sweets!!)

The quaintness does not end with the town's name or establishments. It seems as if each house, tree and leaf is placed in a way to invite you to come visit or perhaps imagine staying. Even the trees seem to be taking on the Christmas cheer, as they change from a green to marigolds to a crimson red before falling to the ground like crunchy snowflakes.

With the exception of the sunrise, these were all taken on an 1 hour lunch. So go out, slow down and appreciate your town, surroundings and the season!!

Just in Time for Halloween!!

Gallery shows up everywhere.

There I was, sitting in the living room watching "Scary... But True" (this is a show from 2001) and they are showcasing the Willard Library in Evansville, Indiana.

There are reports of the library being haunted by the "Grey Lady". The Grey Lady is said to be the ghost of Louise Carpenter, daughter of the founder Willard Carpenter. The ghost story is told that she haunts this halls, stairs, books & cases due to the fact that her father left almost all of his estate to the library.

On this particular episode 2 teenagers are in search of the Grey Lady. While searching, the Children's Reading Room, the female encounters an entity. A book flys off the shelf. Screams and sobbing ensues, and then as a close up of the girl's tear stained face flashes on the screen, there it is... The Fairy Tale by Walther Firle!! Not once but several times. The longest view of the print, is used as a backdrop during a long sob-filled monologue (that in my excitement of this discovery, tune out). Viewing this print in full color and it is enduring and heartwarming. But view it in night vision (because that is how all shows about ghosts & things that "go bump in the night" are filmed) and your hackles will raise, a lump will stifle your screams and the girl's eyes will raise from the book to stare straight into your soul...

Sorry, I just love Halloween and a good ghost story.

I found several sights with links to ghostcams, here are a couple:

If there are more, please feel free to leave here. IF YOU DARE!!!

Gallery in Grey Gardens

Grey Gardens are revisited...

Gallery gets another big movie cameo in HBO's version of "Grey Gardens" featuring Drew Barrymore (as Little Edie) and Jessica Lang (as Big Edie) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (as Jackie Kennedy Onassis). This sad but true tale is "based on the life stories of the eccentric aunt and first cousin of Jackie Kennedy (both named Edith Bouvier Beale aka "Big and Little Edie") raised as Park Avenue débutantes but who withdrew from New York society, taking shelter at their Long Island summer home, "Grey Gardens." As their wealth and contact with the outside world dwindled, so did their grasp on reality. They were reintroduced to the world when international tabloids learned of a health department raid on their home, and Jackie swooped in to save her relatives." ~ Anonymous


This is a rendition of the original 1975 documentary (that originally brought the ladies out of seclusion and made them catapult to cult icons status. The wildly acclaimed musical rendition (which ran from November 2, 2006 to July 29, 2007) featured Christine Ebersole (Lil Edie), Mary Louise Wilson (Big Edie) and John McMartin (J.V. "Major" Bouvier / Norman Vincent Peale).

It is still unclear if this will be direct to T.V. or may see it's day on the silver screen. A tentative 2009 release has been announced.
